This is an old Bugaboo but I hate it when football or golf pushes back regularly scheduled programming.This forces me to extend my DVR time schedule up to 30 minutes back.This is an old argument based on the fact that the three major commercial networks still want to profit from sports despite the availablilty of special sports networks.IMO it stinks.
That's just my two cents.
Yes, it's annoying, but considering it's so easy to add an extra hour to DVR time (more advisable than 'only' 30 minutes), it really shouldn't be a big deal. I don't DVR at all--I watch in real time--so sports runovers affect me a lot more than they do people who watch on delay.
shareIt's part of the contract, I'm sure. At least football doesn't last the entire season, and it's not baseball--the only major sport without ANY time constraints. I love baseball, but I'd hate to try and schedule prime time around a game every week!

Wrong. Football does have time constraints. They're called quarters. Sure, the time varies due to penalties and reviews, but all-in-all, most football games don't last longer than 3 hours. If there's overtime, that also is limited in time and sometimes even ends in a tie--when the overtime ends and the score remains tied. This is unlike baseball where games have actually continued the following day.
This is a THREADED message board. I don't care if you reply to the this post or make another comment totally unrelated!

I wish they would just push it back here but not so...here they just take it away and show it next week, idiots that they are. I am left to surf for something to watch...which is illegal...and there You have it...tiresome...
shareThe flaw here is DVRs that don't allow you to easily manually program a start time for recordings when things go "off the clock". The networks use social media to inform potential viewers of start times in plenty of time for a DVR user to program their devices.
shareGo West, young man...we don't have to worry about any of that bugaboo out here! ;-)
sharei have directv, after i set it, it will automatically add one hour every Sunday.
The most important thing is sincerity. If you can fake that you've got it made.
I don't have cable or a DVR, so it is a major pain when the time is so unstable. I had to subscribe to CBS All Access so I can watch it (and Elementary) the next day.
shareEveryone is demanding majority rule well in the case of TV network programming if the majority want change, the networks ought to listen.
That's just my two cents.
Networks don't care about majority..they worry about demographics. If you aren't in their "spending age range" what you want does not matter. Therefore, my 53 year old opinion means nothing to them...
shareI don't think it's the networks; it's the advertisers--the ones who pay the networks. If CBS and the other "over the air" networks weren't "free," they wouldn't have to rely on commercials.
shareMy late father made the most sense. He asked why in the hell should cable subscribers have to be forced to watch commercials if they are already paying for the programming? Same question with movie theaters.Why do they have commercials in movie theaters?It sucks.
That's just my two cents.
Sunday nights kill shows, my wife loves this show and she likes to watch when it's on but like you said football and golf ruin all shows at this time. They need to make it a choice. Something to where you can either watch the sport or the show, technology has come this far why not. Also it's the post game show on sports that really kills it.
